Imran Khan has just 15% vision left in right eye, family blames medical neglect [Update@post823]

Such is the clownish and cowardly nature of Munir and his mental state that people are being arrested for singing this song at wedding.


 
Imran suffering from ‘serious’ eye infection: PTI

The PTI on Tuesday claimed its incarcerated leader Imran Khan was suffering from an “extremely sensitive” eye infection, which could damage his eyesight permanently if not properly treated, while his sisters questioned the veracity of the claim.

In an official statement, the PTI, quoting ‘credible journalistic sources’, said that the former prime minister had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion in his right eye, which had caused a dangerous blockage in the retinal vein.

“Doctors have stated that it is an extremely sensitive and serious medical condition, and if timely and proper treatment is not provided, there is a severe risk of permanent damage to his eyesight,” the party claimed.

The PTI claimed that the jail administration was insisting that the treatment should be carried out within jail but doctors were saying that the treatment was not possible within the limits of the jail.

The party stated that a petition regarding Khan’s medical check-up had been pending before the court since August 2025 but had not been heard. It urged the government to allow visits by the family and friends in light of the report about the infection in his eye. It has demanded that the treatment be allowed at Shaukat Khanum Hospital or any other reputable hospital of his choice.

Claims about treatment at Pims

However, Imran’s sisters contested the report that their brother was suffering from an eye infection and underwent treatment at a state-run hospital in Islamabad on Saturday night.

According to a senior doctor at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, the ex-premier was brought to the hospital under strict security on Saturday night for the procedure, which took quite some time. “Whatever procedure was going on, it was completed when the time reached in the am. So we can say that he was taken back on Sunday,” he claimed.

The doctor said there was “extraordinary movement” on Saturday night and the operation theatres and the anaesthesia room were cordoned off ahead of Mr Khan’s arrival at Pims.

Another doctor, however, denied this and said it was better not to discuss it as the PTI would make an issue out of such a development.

Speaking to reporters outside Adiala jail, Aleema Khan, however, said she was not in a position to confirm this news.

“We have not been allowed to meet our brother for the last three and a half months. How has this news been leaked out to the media and who has told a journalist about Imran?” she wondered.

Uzma Khan said she met her brother for 20 minutes on December 2 and he did not mention anything about his eyesight during that visit. She recalled that Mr Khan had mentioned something about his eyes in a previous meeting that was held two months before their Dec 2 meeting, saying that only eye drops were given to him. She said they were not aware of his eye condition since they were not allowed to meet him in jail.

Noreen Khan said that if the news regarding Imran’s eye was correct, it should have been shared with the family. “They test us by spreading such rumours and have done it in the past. However, if they tried to damage Imran’s eye, their eyes would not be saved,” she warned.

PTI MNAs file fresh plea

Also on Tuesday, PTI MNAs arrived at the IHC to file a fresh petition seeking permission to meet Mr Khan.

Speaking to the media outside the IHC, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan said that Tuesdays were the designated day for meetings with Imran.

He said that the party leadership had approached the IHC chief justice multiple times but had not been granted a meeting.

Imran Khan underwent ‘20-minute medical procedure’ at Islamabad’s Pims, confirms info minister

Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Thursday confirmed that incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan underwent a medical procedure for an eye ailment last week at a hospital in Islamabad.

Speaking to Geo News, Tarar said the former premier, who is imprisoned at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail, was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) in Islamabad for a “20-minute” medical procedure on the night of January 24.

“Eye experts examined him in Adiala jail, after which they recommended that it was necessary to take him to Pims for a small medical process. Last Saturday night, he was taken to Pims on the recommendation of these eye doctors and experts,” Tarar said.

He added that at Pims, Imran’s “eyes were further examined, and after his written approval, a 20-minute medical procedure was performed”. The ex-premier was then taken back to the Adiala jail with “important instructions”.

“During the medical procedure, his vitals and everything were stable. He’s absolutely healthy,” Tarar stated.

The minister asserted that “all prisoners” have access to doctors and medical treatments when such an issue arises. “This is in accordance with the [jail] rules, and he is absolutely healthy,” he added.

Asked about the concerns raised regarding Imran’s health, Tarar reiterated that the PTI founder was “absolutely fine”.

The minister stressed that it was the medical experts’ opinion to take Imran to Pims for a medical procedure. “He is absolutely fine, and he was also perfectly fine when this medical procedure was being performed.”

On Tuesday, the PTI said it had learned through credible reports that Imran had been diagnosed with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in his right eye, “resulting in a dangerous blockage in the retinal vein”.

Citing medical experts, the party had said that if not treated promptly and properly, CRVO could cause permanent damage to his eyesight.

Also on Tuesday, PTI MNAs filed a fresh petition before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking permission to meet Imran.

According to a senior doctor at Pims, Imran was brought to the hospital under strict security on Saturday night for the procedure, which took quite some time.

“Whatever procedure was going on, it was completed when the time reached in the A.M. So we can say that he was taken back on Sunday,” he claimed.

The doctor said there was “extraordinary movement” on Saturday night, and the operation theatres and the anaesthesia room were cordoned off ahead of Imran’s arrival at Pims.

 
Federal, Punjab govts misled nation on Imran’s health: Shafi

Special assistant to the chief minister for information Shafi Jan on Thursday said the provincial government and the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) had consistently expressed serious concerns regarding the health of jailed PTI founder and former prime minister Imran Khan but the federal government continued to issue false statements.

In a statement issued here, Mr Jan said the federal government secretly shifted Mr Imran to Islamabad’s Pims hospital from Adiala Jail. He said the confirmation of the development by federal information minister Atta Tarar was actually a “charge sheet” against the federal government itself, exposing all its lies.

“Despite serious concerns about our leader’s health in jail, access to his personal physician is being denied in a blatant violation of his fundamental human rights,” he said.

The aide to the CM said that although the PTI founder was shifted to a hospital, his family members and lawyers were deliberately kept in the dark, which was evidence of criminal negligence on part of the federal and Punjab governments and the jail administration. “We condemn this act of the federal and Punjab governments,” he said.

Mr Jan said that if the “fake” federal government did not immediately allow access to Mr Imran’s personal physician, PTI would decide a tough course of action.

He added that the federal government had trampled the Constitution and the law, while clear court orders regarding meetings with founder PTI had also been blatantly ignored.

The CM’s aide said that the insensitivity shown by the federal government regarding the former prime minister was extremely unfortunate and that the corrupt gang forcibly imposed at the federal and Punjab levels, should not be blinded by political revenge.

He said that KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi visited Adiala Jail on Thursday to meet Mr Imran but was not allowed.

Mr Jan said that illegal restrictions had been imposed on meetings with the jailed PTI founder, which constituted a clear violation of court orders, the Constitution, democratic values and fundamental human rights.

He said that despite keeping Mr Imran imprisoned in false cases, the “corrupt clique” remained fearful of his public popularity.

The CM’s special assistant said the PTI founder’s politics revolved around public welfare, strengthening democracy and economic sovereignty, whereas the current federal government was entirely focused on political revenge instead of providing relief to the people.

Criticising the Punjab government, Mr Jan said the health sector in Punjab had reached the brink of collapse, and that the report of the Chief Minister’s Inspection Team itself stood as a clear charge sheet against the Punjab government.

You chosen a name for your self which is

Emran = Name of a Prophet
Abbas = Name of a major Sahabi

If that is your real name, your parents chose a noble name for you so they wanted a child with noble manners.

I’m sure if people were doing bhangra on the news of Nawaz Sharif’s death, you wouldn’t be too pleased.

Like u said everyone is going to die, today it could be me, tomorrow it could be you. Just don’t understand why you’d waste your time wishing death on others when we’re going to face the same fate.

Wishing death on Khan, Nawaz, Bhutto etc only for you to not know whether you’ll outlive any of them seems a bit silly.

Compassion? You don’t have to know someone or have met them to be upset about their death.

You’ve had far away relatives who would’ve died, who you’ve never met or known. You wouldn’t be upset about their deaths?
 
Imran claims only 15pc vision left in right eye; SC forms medical team to examine PTI founder
The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the formation of a medical team to examine former premier Imran Khan’s eye, after a report submitted in court quoted the PTI founder as claiming that “only 15 per cent” vision was left in his right eye.

The SC also directed that Imran be allowed to speak to his children. It was ordered that both the eye inspection and the phone calls be conducted before February 16 (Monday).

The instructions came as a two-member bench headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Yahya Afridi and including Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan resumed hearing the case regarding the PTI founder’s living conditions in Adiala jail.

Imran underwent a medical procedure at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) in Islamabad on the night of January 24 — a development confirmed days later amid an apparent lack of knowledge by the family.

“The issue of Imran’s health is most important,” CJP Afridi observed, adding that “intervention was necessary”.

“We want to know the government’s stance on the matter of his (Imran’s) health,” the top judge said, at which Attorney General for Pakistan (AGP) Mansoor Usman Awan affirmed that it was the state’s responsibility to provide medical facilities.

“If the prisoner is not satisfied, then the state will take measures,” AGP Awan added.

CJP Afridi then noted that the issue of Imran’s “telephone calls with his children is also important”.

“We are trusting the government. The government is in a good mood today,” he remarked.

PTI counsel Advocate Salman Safdar, who was appointed amicus curiae and met Imran at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail on Tuesday, had submitted a seven-page report to the SC regarding Imran’s living condition in the prison.

In his report, seen by Dawn, Safdar quoted Imran as telling him that “despite the treatment administered (including an injection), he has been left with only 15pc vision in his right eye”.

Imran told Safdar that approximately “three to four months earlier, until October 2025, he had normal 6 x 6 vision in both eyes”. He then began experiencing persistent blurred and hazy vision, which he repeatedly reported to the then-jail superintendent but “no action was taken by the jail authorities”.

The report read: “[Imran] stated that he subsequently suffered a sudden and complete loss of vision in his right eye, following which an ophthalmologist from Pims Hospital, Dr Muhammad Arif, was called to examine him.

“According to [Imran], he was diagnosed with a blood clot that caused severe damage, and despite the treatment administered (including an injection), he has been left with only 15pc vision in his right eye.”

Adding to Imran’s claims, Safdar said he “personally observed that the petitioner appeared visibly perturbed and deeply distressed by the loss of vision and the absence of timely and specialised medical intervention”.

“Throughout the meeting, the petitioner’s eyes were watery, and he repeatedly used a tissue to wipe them, reflecting physical discomfort,” the lawyer recalled.

However, during the hearing, the SC dismissed the request to have the condition of Imran’s eye examined in the presence of his family members.

On the request to provide some books to the PTI founder, AGP Awan said it would be done after consultation with eye doctors.

Noting that the SC had received reports from Safdar and the Adiala jail superintendent, CJP Afridi said: “Most of the things in both reports are similar — the place is good, the facilities are fine.”

Noting that the issue of Imran’s meetings with his family members was pending before the Islamabad High Court (IHC), the top judge said it would be appropriate for the relevant forum to decide on that.

‘No access to personal physicians amid deteriorating eye condition’

The report detailed Safdar’s meeting with Imran, the cell conditions, the facilities and amenities provided to the ex-premier, his living compound’s description, as well as the lawyer’s process of reaching the jail.

Safdar further quoted Imran as claiming that “regular and periodic blood tests” were not conducted.

While his personal physicians Dr Faisal Sultan and Dr Asim Yusuf had previously been permitted access, “despite repeated requests and a deteriorating ocular condition, no such access was allowed during the relevant period”, the ex-premier was quoted as saying.

“[Imran] stated that for nearly three months, the only treatment administered consisted of eye drops, which resulted in no improvement and was followed by a major impairment of vision in his right eye,” Safdar said.

Imran also claimed that “despite being 73 years old and requiring dental consultation, no dentist had examined or treated him over the past two years, notwithstanding repeated requests”.

According to Safdar, Imran told him about “rapid and substantial loss of vision over the preceding three months while he was living and detained under the ‘care and custody’ of Abdul Ghafoor Anjum”, the jail superintendent.

“This concern of his was neither taken seriously nor addressed by the relevant jail authorities,” Safdar was told. Upon inquiry, the jail staff informed the lawyer that Anjum had been transferred on Jan 16, 2026, and replaced by Sajid Baig.

Safdar stated that upon inquiry, the jail superintendent informed him that Imran was currently under the care of Pims’ Dr Arif and that the on-duty jail doctor recorded the PTI founder’s vital signs three times daily.

A day ago, Safdar denied making any statement on Imran’s health on Tuesday, making it clear that if anything was attributed to him in this regard, it was “misrepresented and misreported”.

On Tuesday, the day he met Imran, Safdar had reportedly told the media that the incarcerated PTI founder was fine and looking healthy.

The SC’s order allowing Safdar to meet Imran came after the bench rejected senior PTI leader Latif Khosa’s request for an immediate meeting, but issued notices to the parties.

Diagnosis and treatment

Meanwhile, a medical report dated February 6 — signed by Pims Executive Director Professor Dr Rana Imran Sikander and addressed to the Adiala jail administration — was also submitted to the SC.

It noted that Dr Sikander had been directed by the prime minister’s office to communicate to the jail staff about Imran’s medical condition.

Imran “reported reduced vision in the right eye”, Dr Sikander said, without specifying when.

He added: “A qualified ophthalmologist from Pims, Islamabad, conducted a complete eye assessment at Adiyala Jail [sic], including slit lamp examination, fundoscopy, intraocular pressure measurements, essential laboratory tests and OCT (optical coherence tomography) of the retina.

“Based on his assessment, a diagnosis of right central retinal vein occlusion was made and hospital-based follow-up treatment was recommended.”

Recalling Imran’s treatment on the night of January 24, the doctor said the ex-premier was “brought to Pims on the night of Saturday/Sunday for advised procedure”.

“At the hospital, the treatment plan i.e. need for administering anti-VGEF intravitreal injection was explained in full to the patient. Accordingly, an informed consent was obtained from the patient prior to the procedure,” Dr Sikander stated.

He reiterated that the procedure was carried out in the operation theatre under standard sterile protocols and monitoring, adding that it was “completed smoothly in approximately 20 minutes”.

In his report, Safdar said Dr Sikander’s note was provided to him by Imran’s family and it did not “contain full details of the episodes”.

“Nor does it identify the qualified ophthalmologist who conducted the tests and administered the treatment,” he highlighted.

My 2 cents on current IK health situation.

In my opinion the current regime is trying to paint a picture where they are showcasing that a reconciliation with IK is currently happening which would be good for country in the long-run. Before I begin, I'd like to say that its clear as day to me that Asim Munir and PMLN will never let IK be out in public let alone a chance to participate in elections. The cruelty that has been dished out over the last 3 years have left permanent scars on many families, this is not going away and I'm sure about this. IK hasn't endured 2.5 years of imprisonment, assasination attempt and numerous legal and humiliation cases to let everything forego whilst the power still remains with Establishment.

Therefore in my humble opinion the current regime is currently creating a smokescreen.

This smoke screen is needed because Shahbaz and Munir are going to exchange handshakes with Netanyahu in Washington DC next week. Pakistan has committed to sending troops to Gaza in March as well.

The regime knows very well that such images and actions being taken by them will be inflammatory and will carry a huge public backlash. This is why they are floating the idea of IK comeback / release (he will never be released in public) so that once Pakistan and Israel are on the same table the social media (which is largely affiliated with IK / PTI) is not very loud that the world hears it.

Basically these images are a lollipop being given to public at large and social media so that when Pakistan does sign a deal with Netanyahu the reaction can be tamed slightly as public affiliated with IK will not want to jeopardise the positive movements with IK.

For any person doubting this just ask yourself. When was the last time IK's real message came out directly to public? Obviously through his family (sisters). If a lawyer can meet an ailing prisoner then why can't family? Why are his kids being denied a Pakistani visa? The public at large totally believes that the family would give IK's unfiltered views to public which is why they aren't allowed to meet him and hence we don't really know the message that comes out are coming from IK or not.

There is no reason for the current regime to make life easy for IK at this stage as they totally own everything in Pakistan. The only reason I can foresee is them signing the deal with Netanyahu next week in DC which is unchartered territory for Establishment that's why they want to manage the public as much as they can by floating positive news about IK. Rest assured IK will never be released in public by this regime. Please don't forget the barbaric stuff they have done over the last 3 years, they have dug a hole so deep there is no way out of it for them now without relinquishing power and they are certainly not in mood to relinquish power.
 
The terrorists and criminals are the scm you support.

Are you saying Sharifs and Zardari are not corrupt and havent looted the nation?
 
May Allah SWT give him Shifa. This is why when asked about Pakistan being a Muslim country or Islamic republic, you take one look at how they treat each other and you’ll see it’s just a name, the government is barely able to uphold basic rights of other humans, even for non violent crimes in the country (assuming he even is conviction worthy- Allahu ‘Alam) but hate fostering and war mongering extremists are given free reign and can roll up to wherever and take out 50-100+ civilians along with them. Wish those punks had this level of scrutiny, instead a man in his 60s who tried to better the country and was by no means perfect is being subject to such conditions
 
Our country is such a joke. Imran Khan is a noble man and did not bow down to this fascists for the sake of his country and he is paying the price for it.
 
May God bless him.
Imran Khan isn’t mere mortal but a loving embodiment of Pakistani soul, identity and history.

For everything he’s been and meant to his nation and its people, this inhumane treatment to him will always be a curse on Pakistan and Pakistanis.

Going by @emranabbas logic, losing his eyesight would be considered “minimal.” That seems to align with the mindset of dictators and apparently even the senior-citizen plastic Barbie occupying the office of Chief Minister of Punjab, because in their narrative, IK is a terrorist, and somehow 80% of Pakistan’s population is labeled the same. And when you label everyone a terrorist, you conveniently justify the harshest punishment imaginable.
